OneWorld. OneLove. OneHope: #RefugeesWelcome
"I just don't get it. I don't get how people in different countries all over the world can be frightened of people who suffered so much, who are so in need, who are so desperately asking to have freedom, justice and dignity. Just give them a welcome."Our video from Mandy Patinkin's recent trip with IRC to Lesbos, Greece, in which he traveled to as soon as he wrapped shooting this season of Homeland. For more on Mandy's perspective on the refugee crisis, read his latest op-ed on the Washington Post: http://bit.ly/1IONmYV

LiveWorkWander...
Lucky me! I just got linked to the blog and facebook page of friends of a friend who are traveling the country in their crazy van! It looks like a total blast and their posts are fun, exciting, and downright hilarious. Who are these wanderlust wanderers? A married couple named Jessica and Jorge. Down to Earth and up on wheels ;) Check out their blog for the amazing photos and their FB for the quick and funny posts. It's worth your time, I promise!

The dream...
What is your dream? If you aren't taking steps to get there, it's not your dream.
Make it real. Work toward it. Live it.
Live your dreams!

One of the best stories of all time...
I'm not gonna' lie...this is probably one of the greatest stories of all time and the style it's written in is stellar, too. It's the story of two strangers, brought together by fate and technology, from two separate cultures, on opposite sides of the world, over a stolen cellphone, who become insta-celebrities, and are finally able to meet in person, travel and experience one of their countries together and become best friends in the process. The absolute BEST part of this story? It's true.
Read it. Seriously. It might make you reconsider "losing" your cellphone. Seriously, Matt--thanks for the share. Really awesome.

DOLPHINS IN COSTA RICA
Reason number bajillion and five that I love Costa Rica... What an opportunity! Seeing this dolphin cascade is like a dream. It's actually a rather unusual sight; Most of the time, dolphins travel in smaller pods. So this is quite a moment for these people to have witnessed. I, for one, am glad they shared! Take care of this planet - every corner of it - because it will all come back around in beautiful displays like this for generations to come.

Want to travel but have too many excuses?
Here's a little secret: You'll always have an excuse.
There, I said it. There will always be a million reasons why you should NOT quit your job or take sabbatical or take all of your vacation days at once to travel the globe. There will always be rent to pay and bills to pay and loans to pay and weddings to go to and baby showers and your family holidays. Those things will ALWAYS be an excuse.
They work as excuses for most people. I try not to let them be my excuses, but the reality is if I could do whatever I wanted right now, I would sell everything in my apartment or bring it to storage, say many thanks to my employer, and peace out to travel the world. So I still use these self-proclaimed excuses and they hold me back from the life I actually know that I am capable of and the life I believe most human beings desire until I decide not to let them hold me back. Whether it's because they want to travel or to have more time with their families and stay at home or whether it's because they want to be their own boss or they have a dream business that they want to create, there is SOMETHING out there bigger than most of us understand that we are suppressing when we accept the "typical" path, the path that says we will work our way up the food chain, save for retirement and finally be "free" at the age of 65...at which point we will probably NOT retire because we have become so accustomed to being workaholics that we just don't know HOW to relax and enjoy the world around us!
So today, I was thankful to read an excellent blog post by a girl named Kate, who grew up not too far from where I am as I type this, and who is most likely somewhere completely and utterly different right now. Her post might shock you or make you spring into action, or it might make you feel crappy because you accept that what she says is right and you also accept that you aren't going to do anything about it. That's the amazing thing about life. At ANY GIVEN moment, we are making a plethora of choices.
I'm a firm believer that timing is everything. So maybe when you read Kate's post, it'll be your "ah-hah" moment, or maybe it'll have to wait. Whatever the timing may be, I think her post is relevant. It gives good information about how you can make the credit system (that holds so many people down) actually work FOR you not only giving youa swift kick in the rear, but also by giving you exactly what you need...with a little research, that is. She'll give you some pointers on how to get to certain places from her own experience and she'll let you know just what it takes to make it work.
One of my favorite things about what she says is that we are more trapped and unable to get out of our own way when we have too many material things but when we have nothing, suddenly we are more free and capable of doing ANYTHING than we ever imagined we could be with all of our excuses. It seems completely contrary to logic, but in some ways I think it's getting back to our darwinist selves...survival of the fittest. We learn to survive, and thrive, because we have to...and if you've got wanderlust...it's probably your biggest thrill!
